P-217: The Effect of Progesterone on The In Vitro Maturation of Mouse Germinal Vesicle Oocytes Derived from Polycystic Ovary

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic anovulation and hyperandro genism and affects approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age. In vitro maturation (IVM) of mammalian oocytes has become an efficient method to produce mature oocytes in order to use in assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), intra cytoplasmic sperm injection ...

Localization of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the endometrium of common marmosets Callithrix jacchus.

In the present study, changes in the immunohistochemical localization of endometrial estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) during various stages of the ovarian cyclicity in common marmoset, have been reported. Ovarian cyclicity was monitored by estimating plasma estradiol and progesterone. During the early follicular phase, weak ER immunolocalization was observed in the endometr...

The Tissue Specific Role of Estrogen and Progesterone in Human Endometrium and Mammary Gland

The purpose of this chapter is to review the tissue-specific role of estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) in human endometrium and mammary gland. It is well known that both E2 and P4 are essential for the development and differentiation of human endometrium and mammary gland, but the exact basis for differential tissue-specific signalling of E2 and P4 are still not fully understood. This chapter...
